The Bainbridge Public Safety Department is responsible for the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of Bainbridge and employs the public safety concept in fulfilling this responsibility. The public safety concept requires all members of the public safety department to be cross-trained and cross-certified in police services as well as fire services. As a result of the employment of this concept the City of Bainbridge is able to provide a much higher level of public safety services to the citizens of the City in that the system places more patrol officers on the street thus reducing crime and response time to all emergencies. The City enjoys a Class IV fire rating which results in reduced insurance costs to the citizens of Bainbridge. Up to date training is a top priority for the public safety department and each public safety officer receives a minimum of 120 hours each year in fire training and 40 hours of training in law enforcement. This is training which is required annually after the officer has been certified in both fire and police.
